A tank scale is a device used to measure the weight of a substance contained in a tank. It consists of two main parts: a weighing module or module assembly and a weighing instrument. Weighing modules with strain gauges are mounted under the support frame or tank feet. The pressure created by the presence of the substance inside the container, the scale converts it into an output signal from the sensors and converts it into the mass value of the substance.

Tank scales can be used for dispensing/receiving goods, in production in process lines and perform tasks such as dosing or recipe implementation (weighing out ingredients from several tank scales).

Tank scales are used in various industries, such as food, chemical, petrochemical or pharmaceutical, agriculture.

A tank scale allows the quantity of a substance that is used or stored in a tank to be controlled, which is important in many production processes.

Tank scales can have different weight ranges and accuracy, depending on the application and the requirements of the application. Tank scales are used to measure the weight of liquids, powders or granules. Depending on how the tank is installed in the infrastructure, there are different types of tank scales, including scales that are mounted underneath the standing tank and suspended tank scales that are suspended from special brackets.

The tank scale can also include additional components such as safety systems, communication modules, cables and connectors, depending on the needs and requirements of the application.
